A special issue of the The Journal of African Earth Sciences titled "Groundwater: Data, Disaster and Dependency" has been approved!

The Journal of African Earth Sciences sees itself as the prime geological journal for all aspects of the Earth Sciences about the African plate. Papers dealing with peripheral areas are welcome if they demonstrate a tight link with Africa.

The upcoming GWD Conference 2019 invited accepted presenters that wish to submit a full paper, to send their submissions to the GWD by 30 September 2019.

A workshop on “Converting your Study into a Paper” is scheduled to take place during the conference. Authors are invited to attend this session for assistance in getting it to acceptable form for submission to the Journal of African Earth Sciences. A panel of publishing persons will be present to assist, provided that the submission is complete.

Full papers will not be published in the conference as it is not conducive to academic sharing of information, and proceedings do not constitute an acceptable academic reference -Dr M Dippenaar.
